It was opening day at Peahi “Jaws” today. The big wave break was large enough for surfers to catch waves for the first time this winter swell season.
Maui’s Kai Lenny (pictured at left) tells Maui Now he scored 15 to 18 foot waves from about 2:00 p.m. this afternoon with perfect 20 knot winds.
“Today was a great opener for the big wave season. I scored two hours all by myself windsurfing, which felt great because I could truly focus on riding versus competing for waves. I swapped out for my kite and proceeded to get some more epic rides! I’ll admit I was nervous at the start of the session but by the end I found my way home again!”
Kai says a solid crew of wind and kite surfers also joined in on the fun around 4:00 p.m.
A solid north-northwest swell from 335° to 355° is presently affecting northwest exposures. Tomorrow the swell will be biggest early in the day with a fading trend expected through the day.
Another more ‘westerly’ swell (295° to 315°) is expected on the heels of the current swell energy. This swell is forecast to quickly build Thursday and mix in with our current swell for head high to well overhead waves.
